To be classified as a diversified investment company, a fund must satisfy the 75-5-10 test, which requires that:
a.At least 75% of assets be invested with no more than 5% in any one issuer and no more than 10% of any issuer's voting securities held
b.At least 75% of assets be in equities, 5% in cash, and 10% in bonds
c.No more than 75% of assets be in one industry, 5% in derivatives, and 10% in foreign issuers
d.At least 75 different issuers be held, with 5% minimum and 10% maximum positions
Explanation
The diversification test applies to 75% of total assets: within that portion, no single issuer may exceed 5% of assets and the fund may not own more than 10% of any issuer's voting stock. The remaining 25% is unrestricted. The other choices invent asset-allocation or issuer-count requirements that do not appear in the Act.
